I Am a Nobleman in England

Chapter 20: My Boleyn Manor

In the study, Arthur stood in front of the window with a cigar in his hand, and through the glass, he admired the beautiful view of the manor in the sunset. Paul, the housekeeper sitting in front of the computer, went from being curious and questioning to seeing novels on the computer. Later became extremely surprised.

   To be honest, Paul the butler really didn't expect that the young earl, who seemed to have developed limbs and had a simple mind, could write a novel of English aristocracy, and it was still so attractive.

The background of the story is set in the 1910s, during the reign of King George V. The story revolves around "Downton Abbey", which symbolizes status and high society. Everyone in the story is more or less related to Downton Abbey. Various connections. The story begins with the entanglements of the Earl Grantham family due to inheritance rights, interspersed with the love entanglements of each protagonist.

However, what makes Paul the butler most concerned and valued is undoubtedly that the content of the story currently written is a story between aristocrats and servants, showing the world of nobles and servants under the strict hierarchical system at that time, which is also interspersed with family affection. , Love, friendship, can make people better understand the delicate relationship between the noble class and servant class and common people of that era.

   The servants are conscientious and conscientious, guarding themselves or secretly scheming, trying to win the favor of the master. This relationship of mutual support, use and confrontation between master and servant has been able to deeply attract Paul, and it is destined to be very dramatic.

What makes Paul the butler even more excited is that many of the content and details in the story were told by Arthur during his hospitalization about the Boleyn family history, some details of aristocratic etiquette, various family banquets, gatherings, and invitations to various societies. Celebrities, luxurious scenes, and extravagant descriptions are almost all created based on his description.

  Of course, it is not only the plot that attracts the attention of the butler, but also all the details of the daily life of the aristocrats. The luxurious aristocratic costumes and exquisite furnishings described in words have left a deep impression. This is not just a novel, but also a palace of British classical art.

   "Hoo——"

With excitement, Paul the butler got up from his seat, sorted out his clothes, walked to Arthur who had turned to look at him with a smile, and respectfully bowed his body, "Earl, please accept me. The admiration of talent is unparalleled. I really didn’t expect that you would have written the Boleyn family history into a novel, and it is still so wonderful..."

"Haha, thank you." Seeing the reaction from the butler Paul, the smile on Arthur's face became very bright. To be honest, he still doesn't have much confidence in the level of English expression. After all, he is not as skilled in Chinese characters. Some expressions and gorgeous rhetoric are also a little exaggerated, so I really hope to find someone to help me take a look.

"Paul, thanks to the Boleyn family history you told me, otherwise it won't make me think about it. After you read it, do you feel any flaws or opinions? After all, this is I am writing a novel for the first time."

   "Earl, I really think you wrote very well, you are really surprised..."

   Butler Paul's heart at this moment is undoubtedly very excited, and no one is shocked by him. He originally thought that a **** who only knew trouble and rebellion had this kind of talent.

"No, no, Paul, you must help me find the problem. I want to serialize this novel in the Southern Daily Echo, and it will eventually be published in a volume, so this is very important to me, this This is the first time I have written a novel, how could it be so perfect." Arthur said sincerely and solemnly.

Seeing the earl’s serious face, Paul the butler opened his mouth first and said nothing, but frowned slightly and began to think carefully. After a while, he looked at Arthur with bright eyes and smiled respectfully: "If not If there are any shortcomings, it is that your description of the master-servant relationship in the article is too open, and the mode of getting along is even like a friend relationship. Under such a feudal background of a monarchy, it is counter-realistic."

"So..." As soon as Arthur heard it, he couldn't help but frowned slightly. Sure enough, someone who was still a professional could see the problem at a glance. It seemed that he still had to face the'British aristocrat'. Encyclopedia, please ask a lot.

   "Are there any more?"

Hearing Arthur's continued questioning, butler Paul's eyes flashed, and he thought of a question that was a bit questionable from the beginning, "Earl, since it is a novel based on the Boleyn family history, why not just call it "Boleyn Manor"? "

"Snapped!"

   Arthur patted his forehead a little annoyed, smiled bitterly, shook his head and smiled: "Yes, why not call it Bolin Manor!"

   If you clearly want to package and promote Bolin Manor, wouldn’t it be better to use this name directly?

   Damn inertial thinking!

   It seems that I still have a lot to change, whether it is a problem of vision, or breaking the ideological constraints and habitual thinking that have been cultivated for a long time by the mature world outlook and values ​​that have been formed.

I am no longer the ordinary person who can only eat food. No matter his status, status or wealth, he has undergone earth-shaking changes. I thought I was a "negative man" before, and brought the depression and The nervousness disappeared after learning that the manor was worth 40 million pounds.

"Thank you for your reminder, let's call it "Bolin Manor"!" Arthur made the decision without hesitation, and then continued: "Paul, can you tell me more about the etiquette and precautions of the nobles of the old age. Do I need a more detailed understanding to avoid common sense errors in the plot again."

"It's a great honor to be able to help you." Butler Paul responded with a smile. He is very optimistic and looking forward to the new Earl's ability to complete this novel about the Boleyn family. He seems to have seen the Boleyn family prosper once again because of the contemporary family owner The day of getting up.

In the study, Arthur and the butler Paul just sat on the sofa and drank black tea, and began to discuss leisurely and seriously. UU reading www.uukānshu.com was telling about it as a treasure, and one was absorbed in learning knowledge to accumulate Own knowledge reserve.

   When all the attention is paid to one thing, time will be completely ignored, just like Arthur and the butler Paul, if it weren't for the waiter to knock on the door and tell them that dinner time is up, their conversation would not be interrupted.

I have to say that Paul’s encyclopedia title is really not casual. During the conversation, when talking about some historical stories of the Boleyn family, he could even leave and stand up, walk to the shelf, and find some Precious notes, let Arthur look through them for verification.

   "Thank you, Paul, this really helped me a lot." Close the old sheepskin-covered note in his hand, and Arthur thanked him sincerely.

   "It is my honor to be able to serve you, Earl." Paul the butler smiled very happily. He can basically breathe a sigh of relief. The young Earl didn't seem to want to sell his ancestral property.

   "Earl, it's time for dinner, please have dinner."

   "Yeah." Arthur checked the time. It was already 8:30 in the evening. He was really hungry to say it, mainly because he drank too much tea. "I'm going to change my clothes and go over immediately."

   "I'll go to the restaurant to check it out and look forward to your visit." The butler Paul said with a smile and leaned forward.

   "Thank you, Paul, it's great to have you by your side!" Arthur did not hesitate to praise him.

"This is the best compliment to me. It is my honor to serve you and the Boleyn family." Butler Paul was extremely pleased and a little excited about Arthur's praise. What he worried most was the young earl club. Because of some of his advice or suggestions, he was rejected and misunderstood. Now it seems that these worries are a bit unfounded.
